Here's what the wings-'n-ribs-loving man in your life wants on his special day.

"Man Foods"

"Man Foods"

Now I know some of you may be arguing that food is not gender specific—a hamburger is neither a male or female food, it is simply a hamburger. That is a completely reasonable argument, but please allow me to respond with one word: "Hooters." If women ate the cuisine served at Hooters with the same enthusiasm as their male counterparts, perhaps we could have reasonably expected a female-oriented chain restaurant called "Sacks" to appear.

Whether it's just marketing or some sort of deep, dark, gender-biased gastronomical truth (recognized and exploited by marketers), certain foods have definitely become associated with each gender's preference for them. So with that in mind, here's what to feed your wings-loving man on Father's Day.

Wings

Wings

Hooters, Wing Hut, and Pete's Boob & Chicken Palace have all arrived at the same conclusion: If you deeply fry a chicken wing and slather it in hot sauce, men will come. If you add big-screen TVs and women in '80s gym fashions, they will stay forever. These places are basically Field of Dreams, but no one is there to play a sport.

Wings are perhaps the best example of the pleasure/pain principle that is so often associated with Man Food. There is no food more immediately gratifying that leaves a path of destruction for hours and days after consuming it.
